Treatment by manually trained therapists
What is Manual Therapy? Manual Therapy in physical therapy encompasses the treatment of musculoskeletal/orthopedic conditions through the use of skilled specific hands-on techniques. This includes, but is not limited to: manipulation and mobilization to diagnose and treat soft tissue and joint structures for the purpose of decreasing pain; increasing range of motion; reducing or eliminating soft tissue inflammation; including relaxation; improving contractile and noncontractile tissue repair; extensibility, and or stability; facilitating movement; and improving function.
That’s a mouthful. What’s important to know is that all of our therapists have been trained by David S. Miers, who is Fellowship Trained in Orthopedic Manual Therapy and Board Certified in Orthopedic Physical Therapy by the American Physical Therapy Association. He is the only therapist in the Lehigh Valley to hold these two certifications. We use hands-on Manual Therapy to evaluate and treat your condition as opposed to larger companies who put you on a bike, show you a few exercises, and wave good-bye as you walk out the door.
